SECTION 35554

35554. An alternative to, and in addition to, other methods
contained in this division regarding the apportionment of water, the
district may enter into long-term water service contracts with the
holders of title to land for the apportionment of all or any part of
its water supply. Long-term water service contracts may provide that
all water charges provided for, when due, are a lien on the land in
the nature of assessments and may be collected and enforced in the
manner provided in this division for the collection and enforcement
of assessments. Any such lien shall have the same force, effect, and
priority as an assessment lien if the contract is recorded in the
office of the county recorder in the county in which the land is
situated.
